Okay ladies and gents, if you're up for it, here's the second Group challenge.
It involves finding a partner here on MFP and competing against other partnered people. Your other half doesn't have to be anyone you know. The challenge is part, health and fitness and part, get to know that person a little better.
We'll pick a starting date of this Sunday coming up, if we get some interest. I'll let you know about the rules and what our ultimate goals are, other than the standard, exercise regimen and logging your food diary.
If any of you have ideas, PM and we can set some rules up.

**just a note that I will be at Lake Champlain from Thurs-Sun(23rd-27th) and the signal up there is spotty so I will made every effort to log on!0 -
I'm in! Kind of hoping you are talking about today? I know there are just two of us on this right now, does that mean the two of us our partners? Or that I need to find someone else?0

I NEED a new challenge... Since the last one finished, I've got pretty slack with my self discipline
I've only been able to log foods and comment on status's from my mobile phone though, so may have to do 'catch up posts' in the group until I'm back on the laptop

Awesome guys! :flowerforyou:
Had to wait to get some players and now we have a small band of people!
Remember, accountability to yourself and partner is essential, for this and any goal you have...
Good luck everyone.

Checking in. Ate under calories, too high on carbs, too low on protein. Did the chores (livestock) which burns about 400 calories and unloaded 2.5 tons of hay. Didn't turn on my HRM so don't have an accurate count on the hay stacking. Starting back on JM videos tomorrow for exercise.
Tomorrow is another day...

Hey Everyone ~
Here are our partnership teams:
Team Alpha: Jouegal and JadedOne and Lavendergirl
Team Sigma: Trekcat and Slymom68
Team Pi: Goingnuts2 and Bekzness
Team Delta: LstNLondry and SARBelgians
Team Zeta: MissVampette and Vanderandbill and katiebythebay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To re-iterate, the basic rules are:
*** FInd a partner here on MFP. It can be someone you know personally or someone you met here on MFP. (I already have one or two people in mind, lol.) If they are already in the group, all the better, and if not, invite them. Keep on each other like fly paper, giving motivational posts and posting on their profile and PM'ing, if you think that would be the best way. Remember to always be kind and stay positive - honey always draws more bees than vinegar. (Is that the saying? Maybe not.)
*** Keep tracking your food and exercise, as usually. Try to keep the activity you do, in this thread, so it's easily tracked and read by the others. Motivation is the key, so while you're motivating yourself and your partner, you're probably also motivating anyone else who happens upon our thread (hopefully.) Post at the beginning and end of the week (Saturday or Sunday for the upcoming week and same for the week that ended.)
*** Accountability to yourself and partner is essential. Get to know each other and try to check in with them daily. Stay on top of their progress and in a positive way, motivate them and keep each other going.
***This will last for the entire month of March.

Good luck everyone~ :blushing:
I'm so excited in getting to know my partner in crime better! (It's always better with a good friend.) :flowerforyou:

Hey! this is what I need!! I'm feeling a little funky but when I can motivate someone it usually bounces back to me!! I say WE knock this day out! We have been given this day so let's not waste it with bad energy. I will start with some c25k with my dog, run an extra mile & do my best with food.
YOU make today the best you can make it! I can't wait to read everyone's updates! Happy Monday!!0
